That was the only reason I got into trouble at school too. When we homeschooled our sons, people would always ask “what about socialization?” and I’d tell them I got in trouble at school for that. Our kids did their socialization outside of class time.
Socialization is not a euphemism for play time. It includes the training in how to conduct a rational discussion with differing opinions, taking turns, dealing with situations in which one is outnumbered in getting attentions, etc., how to operate in a civilized society. Most home schooled are great at regurgitating rote-learned data (spelling bees and such) but are poor at processing information unless the home included a trained and/or talented teacher. Propaganda texts and workbooks just don’t cut it, as Texans demonstrate.

Even worse are those who talk a lot and say very little. Give me someone who talks a little but says a lot! Nuff said.

He should get in trouble at home too for sticking a dirty finger in the food.
